Small things that annoy you about the new GUI

Not sure if this is new, I had the same problem (and same solution) for at least 3 months with the old GUI (64bit linux)

It was bugged at some point in old UI, but was working before the update.
Still, this is needed, we need to know which spell effect is in action, icon isn't sufficient.

Another visual bug:



Close button of trade dialog looks a little strange.

I think this is fixable. Somewhere in the UI options there should be a "show quickbar tooltips" field. Disable and then enable this option and it should work

You need to do this for every character separately...


Hope this helps...

It's hard to see HP/MP bar of yourself at 1080p...

I'm playing RO for roundabout four years now and yesterday was the first time for me with the new update 1.9.0 + Hotfix.

I think the new GUI was a necessary step to make RO look more attractive for new players, but as an old-established player I've noticed some things which I don't really like:

That's totaly right, it takes me now 3 views to get an overview about my hp/mana points, current buffs and the chatlog(because of the small size).
So I can't focus the same way on an ongoing battle as I could before.
But as the space below the hp bar is now occupied by the party list (which is also a absolutly important and a nice and helpfull tool for conjus) there's no more room for the buff icons. Therefore I propose to switch the buff icons with the face+hp bars of targeted NPCs/allies/enemies (I'm watching these only when there's a dead player)

True, especially if the clan chat has an green or white backround (yes, I'm playing in Alsius...). Maybe it is possible to enlarge the font size or the space between the letters a little bit to make them more easily readable.

Yes, please fix that - it always appears in the middle of the screen.


Furthermore I would like to see the red/green(or the realm colours) dot next to player names again.


So far, I hopefully expressed myself comprehensible....

Greetings and a happy new year from germany

Another one that i forgot to mention, but it is not new:
V shows all allies' hpbars and names in view range. But if you had someone selected and press V, that chars information will not be displayed anymore. Seems like V "inverts" some show-information-about-allies value.

I had so many dumb moments looking for someone in a crowd whom i had already selected because of this...
It is not new, but it happens with the new GUI as well.

Because I dont want to make a new thread for every small thing:
You can select people from your party now - which is great. But manually selecting the characters will not select them in the party window. Infact, even deselection does not work (the party member is not "greyed out" properly).

Furthermore, I would suggest using a different selected/not selected differentiation than making the window semi-transparent. Depending on the background it is very hard to read.
It would be nice to have a resize option for this window. Or an option to get rid of the portrait space. The short bars are a little hard to see and quite short.
